Why would you need to log the actions? You can see them in the progress
dialog. If you need them for later, you can
Ctrl-A (to select all entries)
Open text editor
Ctrl-V (to paste the entries into the text editor)
Also, this request is incomplete as it doesn't answer the most basic
questions:
* where would that log be saved to?
* if the save location is configurable, what would be the default?
* what format should the log be? xml? Text? What should the entries look
like?
* How long should the log be kept?
* Should the log be stored all in one folder, or in subfolders according
to the repository UUID?

I don't entirely see the usefulness (I understand the concept of maintaining a log I just don't know why someone would use it -- and, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, if someone could share a use it would be helpful) of this feature since we have the 'Check for modifications' dialog, and the log would really have no bearing/authority on what is currently in a working copy.
Another question to throw into the mix, what should happen when two working copies on a machine are connecting to the same repository?
